Wyatt Buckhorn is only a pal. If sharing scorching kisses that leave a woman feeble–brained means they're pals! But that's all the oilman–slash–rancher can be to Natalie Lewis. Five months pregnant and recently jilted, Natalie refuses to trust any man, least of all a man who is the definition of playboy.
Throw in that every run–in turns into a fiery encounter, and "just friends" gets complicated. Which is a shame, because Natalie's life is messy enough.
Besides, she knows Wyatt's secret – he's sterile, and so enforces a strict kid–free rule. But when circumstances have them caring for a whole clan of Buckhorn youngsters over the holidays, Natalie sees a side of Wyatt that's definitely kid–friendly. Weakening defences, and even weaker knees, have Natalie determined to destroy Wyatt's anti–family policy... before he leaves town for good.
